Hello Fellow Voters!
I thought I'd gather up the most useful posts regarding the upcoming election for your voting pleasure (and edification).
Please reply if I missed something. I'm mostly interested in threads that have been posted to Wacco, but if you have an external link that you think is important that's fine to. I'll pin and update this post.
You are most welcome to start a new thread to discuss a race that hasn't been posted. Please use existing threads for further comments, even if you don't agree with the thread title.

I'm going to guess you don't need much help with this one.
But here's a good thread about Gary Johnson (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?119640-Gary-Johnson-for-president!&p=206069#post206069).
United States Senator
I don't think anything has been posted about this race! Kamala Harris (https://kamalaharris.org/) seems to be the favorite of the progressives, though, and that's who the Sonoma County Democratic Party is endorsing. Loretta Sanchez's site is here. (https://www.loretta.org/)
United States Representative
Again, no discussion, but Jared Huffman came to our picnic (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?119892-Jared-Huffman-at-WaccoBB-Picnic-says-quot-gotta-begin-to-get-excited-quot&p=206731#post206731) and is a good guy!
State Assembly
No discussion, which is a pity, since former Santa Rosa City Council person, Roni Jacobi (https://ronijacobi.com/) is challenging Marc Levine (https://www.marclevine.org/). Anybody want to start a thread?
